Person:Samuel Spates (3)

In his diary (included in the Samuel Spates Papers at the Minnesota Historical Society) Samuel Spates (1815-1887) says that his father Samuel Spates (1777 - 1853) married Mary Ellen Hoggins. He also says that his paternal grandfather is Robert Spates who came from Yorkshire and lived in Maryland. The 1776 Census, Sugar Land Hundred, Maryland lists Robert Speights (37) and his household: wife - Elizabeth (38); daughters - Ann (4) and Mary (2); and sons - William (12), Robert Jr (6) . and “a son” (6), (Kathleen and Susan Aud assert that “a son refers to Rezin Spates”) Samuel Spates is not listed because he was born in 1777 (as inscribed on his tombstone) - after the census.

It became known as Middletown for its location between Paris, Millersburg, Mount Sterling, and Winchester, but was incorporated as North Middletown in 1818 ("North" was added to distinguish it from the Jefferson county Middletown). The North Middletown post office opened in 1819.
